In a Funk

So I had a theme for yesterday.... one
for today. One for tomorrow... but I am having trouble doing the
things I need to. In fact since August began, I've only written
about 8000 words. That wouldn't be horrible, but I have a book I'm
meant to have completed... I only have 4 scenes left, but I feel like
I am pulling teeth trying to get them out there.

You want to know how bad it REALLY is?
On Saturday I got up at 11:00 puttered a bit, then took a nap from
12-2. I spent a little time online, and that was 2000 of my 8000 I've
written... but man... not such a productive day.

Sunday it was so bad I spent several
hours cleaning out shelves and putting up a new set... CLEANING!
This is NOT me.

Don't sweat the break. Personally, I write best when I'm irrationally passionate about the story I'm telling. If that feeling isn't there, I don't even open the file. Give yourself a couple of days, and the itch will come back. Always does.

As for your writing--your mind is in overdrive and in other places. That's okay. Let yourself putter. You're going to need processing time sweetie. Even when we don't admit it, our minds know it and WILL take that time.

The Naked Tart

I write books from my bathtub and blog in my basement. For a full bio on the 3 faces of me, check out the tab. As for the shenanigans around here... Confessions of a Watery Tart is my primary blog. It has lots on writing, some life... mostly I just want to encourage you to play with me. Silliness abounds. I also have a Song of Ice and Fire Blog because frankly I'm obsessed and have tons of theories and ideas, so I decided to give myself a place to channel those besides brief facebook comments.
